B52 & X15
Posted by Exocet on Monday, August 18, 2014 2:28 AM
I have a 1/72 B52. I was going to build it as a Vietnam War era bird but I have decided to put the Heller 1/72 X15 under its wing. Does anybody have an idea of the design or source of the hard point used to mate the X15 to the wing?

Hey Exocet,

Great idea for the kit!  Don't have any references for that, but I might still have the instructions for the old Revell/Mono B-52 kit that came with the X-15.  If that would be of any help, I can scan the page with the hard point on it and shoot it to you.  Let me know and I'll check when I get home tonight for the instructions.  Might be able to find them on line too.

See if you can get hold of the March 2010 issue of FSM. There is a feature article in this issue about modifying the Monogram B52D kit to make the X-15 launch ship.

Revell/Monogram has recently reissued its 1/72 B-52 with X-15. It was originally issued back in the '90s (I believe) in the "Young Astronauts" series, and for a time was sought after by collectors. The reissue made it much more available (and less expensive). Realistically, you'll be spending a lot of time creating your own carrying pylon and other mods to the bomber, and you can save yourself a lot of time (and trouble) if you find the B-52/X-15 issue.
